How old were you when you came out of the closet?
If you never came out, how old were you when you realized you were LGBT?

I just always was interested in [i]whomever[/i] - guys, girls, any gender. I first was with another girl when I was 8, and obviously, was told this was just normal experimentation. I didn't really solidify that I was bisexual until high-school, but I've never "come out", and have mostly been with guys. I don't see a need to. I just am what I am, and nobody I care about expects differently!
I'm blessed. 🤗

Hmm cool. At least now you're aware you're bi. Maybe try being with a guy, see for sure.

@TheDarkestZero: yeah... I had a lot if sexual experience as a kid so maybe that's why.

Things are a bit complicated for me, for I grew up in a country where sexual relations between people of the same gender were considered a crime. Maybe because of the social constraints I came out late. Shortly: 14 y.o.= felt attraction for boys and some fantasies; 20 y.o. first time with a guy in the same bed, but sexual intercourse with girls; 24 y.o. = married; 30+ strong attraction for my best (male) friend and soon after had sex with him. What could I say? I felt I would be bi at 14 and I came out in my 30s, isn'ț it?

@Milkweed: Haha cool. You never really realize it but a lot of people could pick up every little detail, ever little hint, and know you're gay before even you figure it out. My mom and my aunt were like telling everyone in the family I was gay just because I was a pretty feminine-acting five year old.

I get that! My grandmothers, God rest them, had totally opposite views. One was convinced that homosexuality was a form of demonic possession! The other would take me aside and say, "It's okay if you're like that. I know other people who have what you have."! She even tried to fix me up with a neighbor's son! So, I always had one foot out of the closet!

@Milkweed: Oh wow haha that's cool! My entire life since I was like 10, my mom always asked me if I had a girlfriend yet, and then would later follow that with "or do you have a boyfriend yet?" And I was always confused why she would ask that; one, because I was TEN years old, and two at the time I didn't even know being gay was a thing so I had no idea why she was asking about a "boyfriend".

@TheDarkestZero: I have no friends. I've been housebound since I was 18 and homeschooled all my life by my mother. My family is very religious. They take pitty on me and don't press the issue of me being part of the LGBTQ community cause of how ill and pain I'm in. I have one online friend who I consider my best friend, she is religious, but the open type and accepts me for who I am.
